The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 96

Faye was fuming mad, thinking to herself, "Thalassa is such a slut!”

If looks could kill, Faye would have already murdered Thalassa by now.

After leaving the office, Thalassa scuttled back to the desk. She didn't dare get too close and anxiously blurted, "Mr. Sinclair, I had nothing to do with that elevator chatter in the video. I didn't spread the rumor either."

Her eyes were wide with anxiety, her heart still fluttering from Lysander's earlier actions. She looked downright pitiful, her tears making her all the more appealing.

Lysander's lust hadn't quite subsided. Seeing her approach him again stirred up feelings of pity.

Lysander stood up, his presence overpowering as he walked towards her.

"Really, you didn't spread the rumor? Then why so nervous?" Lysander advanced on her step by step.

Under his intimidating aura, Thalassa backed away, "Mr. Sinclair, I swear I didn't. Why would I spread rumors? What's in it for me?"

The sunlight streaming in from the window lit up her eyes, making them look crystal clear.

From Lysander's perspective, her eyes were like sparkling glass beads, reflecting a dazzling light.

Her long lashes cast a shadow.

Lysander grabbed her slim waist, pulling her close. Their bodies pressed together.

"How is it not to your benefit? Isn't it what you've always wanted, for everyone to know you're my woman, for the rumor to be true?"

Lysander's voice was low and smoky.

Thalassa blinked in surprise. She pushed against his chest, trying to create some distance. Their close proximity was suggestive.

"Mr. Sinclair, I didn't spread any rumors, nor do I have any such intentions. I'm here at the Sinclair group to work hard and make a living, that's all."

Thalassa's heart was racing. She struggled to free herself from his grip.

But the man was strong, his arms around her waist like a vise. No matter how much she struggled, she couldn't get away.
